The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

Formed during the Civil War by a group of German emigres, the Liederkranz Foundation maintains a lovely home on the Upper East Side. Chamber musicians regularly flock here for the intimate, Edith Wharton--esque interiors, however opera companies including the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Santa Fe Opera and Bregenz Opera have also looked here for auditions and small concerts.
